Well well. The Cayennes` cousin is here. It was seen last night at Carter Road by Iceman and today at Shivaji park by me and Drifter. Looks pretty good. Navy Blue in colour. I dont think most of you are going to oogle at it after seeing the Cayenne.

Any doubts about Volkswagen's ability to create a 'proper' 4x4 have been comprehensively crushed under the formidable wheels of the Touareg. The underpinnings were developed in conjunction with Porsche, which produces its Cayenne from the same platform, but Volkswagen's effort is far more impressive. It even feels classier than its overblown half-brother and is certainly easier on the eye.

Volkswagen arrived late to the sport utility vehicle party when it launched the Touareg (pronounced "TOUR-egg") for 2004. Considered a "crossover" model, the Touareg is related to Porsche's Cayenne. Initially, Touaregs held either a V-6 or V-8.

Late in the 2004 model year, Volkswagen introduced a Touareg TDI with a turbo-diesel V-10 that produces 310 horsepower and 553 pounds-feet of torque. For 2005, the air suspension that's optional for V-6 and V-8 models and standard with the V-10 has been slightly modified and has a lower ride height. The V-6 engine gains 20 hp.

With a V10 diesel heading the Touareg line-up, the 2.5 TDi’s got as much chance of making headlines as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s political opponents. But, unsurprisingly, this £28,600 option – nearly half the price of the V10 – is the one most likely to populate UK roads.

I too saw it in delhi couple of weeks ago . Must say it looks really fabulous , espically the front and i saw the one with the rear tyre mounted and it enhances the rear look like anything , by far the best spare tyre cover and the design i ve seen !

I mean the way (design) the spare tyre was mounted was just SUPERB .
Man , it surely is a killer !
